Dutch voters choose new leaders in neck-and-neck election race – BBC News


Four parties have emerged as front-runners as Dutch voters decide who will lead their country into a new political era.

The polls suggest a neck-and-neck race and voting ends at 21:00 (20:00GMT), with centre-right leader Dilan Yesilgöz tipped to win and become the first female Dutch prime minister.

Her closest rivals are anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders and a left-alliance led by former top-ranking EU commissioner Frans Timmermans.

More than 13 million Dutch voters have a choice of 26 parties in Wednesday’s vote, and as many as 17 could win seats.
